Orioles starters need to alter their approach to salvage the floundering rotation

As the cruise of disappointment that is the 2025 Orioles sails toward the second month of the season, starting pitching continues to be an anchor around this team’s neck. The O’s starters are in competition with the Marlins and Rockies for the “honor” of MLB’s worst rotation, with Baltimore currently ranking last in starter FIP and fWAR.

There are at least some reinforcements on the way; Kyle Gibson will make his 2025 debut tonight against the Yankees. Zach Eflin threw a bullpen on Friday and could be on his way to a return in late May or early June.
